Trusted Legal Counsel for Houston Area Grandparents

Some states grant very few formal rights to grandparents — even when those grandparents essentially or entirely raise children for a period of months or years. Texas law does grant very specific grandparents’ rights under a range of circumstances. If you are currently engaged in a family dispute and concerned about the well-being of your grandchildren, please contact us for informed, caring counsel.

Our Houston area law firm, practicing primarily in Harris County, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties, has built a strong reputation for handling complex family law cases with aggressiveness, skill and integrity. We have the knowledge and sensitivity to help you deal effectively with a situation such as:

Your position as a grandparent who has cared for children over a period of time while their natural parent or parents were unable or unwilling to do so — only to have a parent reappear and want to take over

Your desire either to obtain custody of your grandchildren — most often due to serious concerns about the parents’ capacity to care for them due to drug problems, mental illness or criminal behavior

Your willingness to have children return to a biological parent, provided you have legal rights to visitation and continued involvement in your grandchildren’s lives

Your need to formalize legal custody or establish guardianship in order to secure insurance, benefit from some level of child support, or otherwise take care of your grandchildren’s basic needs
